The Headquarters of the SJJK-USA is the record center for complete and accurate files of all administrative matters pertaining to and concerning Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu in the United States. The files contain the names, locations and districts of all Sosuishi-ryu Dojo, Branch and District representatives, members names, grading achievements, etc.
ALL MEMBERS receive a “Certificate of Membership” and ALL BLACK BELTS receive certificates of promotion from Master Shitama in Japan as well.
Although many claim to hold grades in Sosuishi-ryu very few actually do. The Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu Kai prides itself in maintaining quality not quantity.
